Coolify is a control panel for running your own applications on your own server. You connect a Git repository or pick something from its catalogue, and it builds and runs it for you. This is how to get one.

Ordering

Open my.myserv.ge, sign in, and start a new order. Choose VPS, then a plan. VPS1 is enough for Coolify and roughly six small WordPress sites; VPS2 gives you more room.

Under "Which operating system?" pick Ubuntu — it is the system Coolify is tested against most. Then, under "Add an application?", switch on Coolify. Leave it off if you want a plain server you will set up yourself.

If you have an SSH key, paste the public one into the SSH key box. It is optional: without it you get a root password by email instead.

What happens next

The machine is built first, then the Coolify installer runs on it. Measured end to end: about seven minutes from payment to a panel you can log into. Most of that is downloading Docker images, so nothing is wrong if the first few minutes look quiet.

The panel lives on port 8000. Open http://YOUR-SERVER-IP:8000 in a browser and create the first account — that account is the administrator, so use a password you keep.

If the panel says the server is not reachable

On first run Coolify generates its own SSH key and needs it in the server's authorized_keys file. The installer usually does this. If it did not, the onboarding screen shows the key and you add it once, over SSH, as root.

This cannot be prevented when you order: the key does not exist until Coolify is installed.

How much fits

Measured on a 4 GB VPS1: Coolify itself uses about 1 GB of memory and 6 GB of disk when idle. A WordPress site with its database adds roughly 390 MB of memory and 1.7 GB of disk.

So a VPS1 comfortably runs Coolify plus five or six small sites. Memory runs out before disk does — if you plan more, take VPS2.
